bits of an healthy lifestyle

Tag: diet

I. Am. Tired. Like, awfully tired. It’s how it feels when you’ve finished your first day back to work right ? : ) But it was nonetheless a very good day, I was in a great mood and it’s all that matters. I’ve been feeling well lately and it shows ! I don’t stress that easily anymore, I smile and laugh more, and it’s becoming a virtuous circle. I appreciate that, I’ve been feeling down for long so it’s like sunshine after rain : ) went home for 30min crazy cardio, then FOOOOOOOOOD then bed. That’s all. Not a single thing more !

Oh my it was soooo well-needed ! I came back to the gym yesterday, mostly playing with the new stuff and getting my first real sweat in months! I woke up sore as you can imagine, and I love that! It motivated me so much I had to go back today. I kept my headstand with no support for more than a minute, even better than before injury but I’m getting very precautionous with inversions now. I’m just so happy to be back and active again!

The fresh feeling of getting back to work after a week of holidays.. Just kidding. I woke up 25min before work, arrived in a hurry, and felt foggy all day. But at last I brought some awesome apple sauce muffins that saved my morning and conquered my colleagues’ mouths! You need : 200g apple sauce – 2 eggs – baking soda – 50g brown sugar – 200g flour – a bit of soy milk. You add the ingredients in order, whisk between each and put in muffin molds in a 180°c pre-heated oven for 25 min. Tada! It doesn’t get any harder than this, it’s very light and super tasty!

Can you spot something in these pictures? Something that might be unusual for some of you guys? There’s absolutely no meat or fish on today’s lunch plate. Yeah!! It may seem a bit unimportant to you, but I’m a real BIG lover of everything meat, poultry, red meat, and fish. But a few days ago now, I’ve came across a page on the net claiming that life has no price. I’ve been thinking about it thouroughly and all I can do is agree! My life has no worth, and if I was killed, the person responsible for this would go straight to jail. My little purring babe at home has no worth either, for she’s my life mate (I don’t own her, we chose to live together). So why would other species have a worth? A ridiculously low worth… Just look at YouTube videos of cows going to slaughterhouses, you can see in their eyes that they KNOW what’s going to happen, just like us. That they’re afraid, just like us. Most people won’t have the guts to watch though because it’s hard to see an animal suffer this much and some images I’m not capable to watch because it triggers my sensitivity. Not saying I’m going vegan or anything (well, maye yes….) but this idea of treating animals as simple products with no feelings or emotions, designed to fill up our stomachs disgusts me. Nature has a lot to offer as healthy alternatives to meat, without sacrificying your protein consuption! I haven’t eaten meat or fish for almost a week now, and I’m ready to dig deeper into this lifestyle! this “Life has no price” saying is just so inspiring if you’re thinking about switching your diet! I’ll be documenting this journey I’m starting as often as possible and I encourage you to do the same, even if you start with one day per week (think about #meatlessmonday for example!) and don’t hesitate to comment if you’re ready to try this adventure with me ! ♥

If there’s one thing I really enjoy on holidays, is that I get to cook more. And what’s best on a cold day, few days from Christmas, than a marble cake with everything we love: cocoa, coconut, honey and vanilla ? It’s not a simple marble cake, it’s made out of quality food wich makes it very gourmet and lovable !

It’s so lit right ! As yesterday I slowly felt better, I tought of this recipe that would maybe give me the energy boost I need. So I prepared everything in the evening, so it would be ready when I wake up. Look at this! doesn’t it look so damn good and original? Bet ya don’t eat some green chia pudding every day 🙂 And truth is, you should! I use some matcha powder for the green pudding, and chocolate for the brown one. And this combo wins over every other breakfast I had! :

I am so so happy that I am now in vacations 🙂 A whole week to relax, train in the gym in empty hours, and cook myself some awesome meals and cakes ! ♥ I started my vacations by sleeping in and then bringing coffee with me under the blankets, it was so cosy. Then I realxed in a hot tub and finally cooked my lunch, a mushroom and beef salad with a hella lot of mushrooms, ground beef, chorizo, herbs and spices. Leftover potatoes on the side with salad and you’re ready to go! Now I’m just going to have a soup for diner because guess what ? … I’m feeling like sickness is taking over me with fever and shivers. Ugh! Hope this goes away or that I sweat it out in the gym ! Have an amazing Sunday night 🙂 ♥
